New Cuppavino Mocha Merlot hits the funky wine scene

Step aside coffee-style Pinotage wines, there is a new funky mocha-Merlot on the wine scene. The Cuppavino Mocha Merlot 2011, an easy-drinking, 100% Merlot brimming with savoury coffee bean aromas, puts the fun back into everyday wine enjoyment.

Forget the serious side of wine and let your senses ‘wake up’ to this new accessible, pocket-friendly red with expressive, fruit-forward flavours – produced by The Funky Wine Company. You’ll fall in love with this stunner. The heart-inspired, arty label will help you woo friends and loved ones into having a good time, especially on Valentine’s Day.

Stemming from the Stellenbosch Winelands and exhibiting intensely concentrated flavours, the juicy berries were aged in specially selected American oak and the integration with the wood flavours allowed the wine to develop into a rich mocha java blend of coffee and roasted chocolate.

Pronounced aromas of coffee, bittersweet cocoa and ripe black cherry characterise the intense nose of the Cuppavino Mocha Merlot 2011. The wine has a dark plum colour and is rich and lively on the palate with soft tannins that leave a lingering, ‘I want more’ impression on the finish.

A wine to be enjoyed with good mates and great memories, the Cuppavino Mocha Merlot 2011 is a perfect sip on its own but will also stand its ground at the braai or with meaty pasta sauces and roast duck. For the ultimate in decadence, enjoy it with strawberries dipped in chocolate.

The Cuppavino Mocha Merlot 2011 retails from R46 per bottle and is available at Cybercellar. To order your wine visitwww.cybercellar.com or contact Tel: 021 876 2649.
